[RunUO 2.0 RC1] Lokai's XML Bible System

[dwayne2700]

After installing the Bible script my server slows down and I get these two warnings. Am I doing something wrong?

Warnings:
 + Customs/Scripts/Custom/Bible System/BibleReader.cs:
    CS0618: Line 202: 'System.Collections.CaseInsensitiveHashCodeProvider' is ob
solete: 'Please use StringComparer instead.'
    CS0618: Line 202: 'System.Collections.Hashtable.Hashtable(System.Collections
.IHashCodeProvider, System.Collections.IComparer)' is obsolete: 'Please use Hash
table(IEqualityComparer) instead.'

Thanks
Dwayne

We have recently started a Saturday Night Prayer meeting on our shard and I got to talking with our my shard owner and he is very excited about the new avenue the shard offers. As we got further into the descusion he brought up maybe also holding a bible study as well and I thought I remembered something like this being here.....and here it is. I ICQed him the link and will run this on my test server.

Regardless if this script isnt used by our main group, the fact that it is available for someone who may later join the group who has no other access to a bible is a powerful tool in itself. Thank you for taking the time to care enough to do something like this.

Itll be awhile until I actually start my server up, so is this a KJV bible? Im assuming since it has a concordanance, it is a KJV. Hoping that it is.

Ill try to rotate accounts here and refresh this thread when needed to keep this thread fresh and on the first or second page.

Thanks again.

wondering how hard would it be to change it from the "Bible" to be used for other belief system type bibles? For instance we are using a D&D style shard, with 26 gods. would it be possible to change this to fit each god? What files would we edit to get that done. We wanna make our shard a straight RP shard and this would go a LOOONG way for that!

You can change the name, and change the look and feel, if you want, but the index, concordance, topic reader, and quote system are all hard coded to refer to exact passages in the XML bible provided.

If you were a hard-core writer, you could fiddle with the text, leaving passage references in place, but I would fear for your soul... just kidding. But seriously, you could always use the coding examples in the script to extract passages from your favorite texts.

I started writing an XML Book script, but didn't get far with it. You can see from an earlier version of this that it was capable of reading other books, as I provided one in my downloads (a dry French political commentary):

XML Bible

Have fun!

I seem to be having an issue downloading this file. When i try to open it in winrar or winzip, I get an error. It says it is a corrupt file.

Many people are having this problem on the forums. You can keep trying, or download a safe download manager. The attachment is not corrupt, it seems to be an issue on the forums in general.

[Braun]

gotcha, I will give it try with a download manager. Thnx

[Braun]

The download manager worked. Good job with this script, it all installed perfectly.

[Braun]

This is a great script...
Here is what I found...

Using my Admin account, with another staff memeber using thier admin account... I noticed that everytime they changed books , it would change mine to whatever they were looking at. We both had the gump open at the same time and every time one of us would go to another book, it would change both of our gumps to that book.

example: I would be looking at the book of John and she would switch over to the book of revelations and it would change my gump over to revelations as well.

This is not a big deal, just thought I would let you know.

Thanks for the awesome script.

[Braun]

ok we tested this some more and it seems this only happens with staff members, in other words, a staff member can change the book and it will change whoever has it open, but a player can change books and it will not affect anyone elses but thier own. This is cool.

Have you tried this?

1. Unzip the file "XML Bible System.zip" (izarc can handle it, even though it thinks the file is corrupt.)
2. Delete the file "XML Bible System.zip"
3. Rename the file you just unzipped from "XML Bible System" to "XML Bible System.zip" (by adding .zip to the end.)
4. Unzip "XML Bible System.zip".

This will work for 99% of the files on the forums, and it works for this one too, (I just tested it.)

I tried adding the Bible to the NPC Provisioner's SB Info much like I have added other things (runics, socket hammer, hammer of recovery) but I get a compile error.

Errors:
 + Mobiles/Vendors/SBInfo/SBProvisioner.cs:
    CS0246: Line 73: The type or namespace name 'Bible' could not be 
found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

This is the line I added:

Add( new GenericBuyInfo( typeof( Bible ), 1, 20, 0x2252, 0x297 ) );

[Lokai]

The Bible is in the Server.Custom namespace, so you need to add the following line to top of your script:

 
using Server.Custom;

Worked like a charm, thanks!

That link doesn't seem to work anymore, so I wonder if teh .zip files in the OP are the most updated?

It seems that the preachers will only say a fixed verse (such as John 3:16-17), can they be set to speak random verses each time when a player approaches them?

The link works. Download "XML Bible System.zip" and follow the unzip procedures outlined in my FAQ:

Yes. I included a 'Random' boolean value to the preacher, but never implemented it. To do so, simply turn on the Boolean value on whatever Preacher you wish, and change the code as follows:

in WanderingPreacher.cs,

around line 91,

change ReadVerse() as follows:

  public void ReadVerse()
  {
   m_Preaching = true;
   Say( "Thus sayeth the Lord:" );
   if (Random) Say( BibleReader.GetRandomVerse() ) 
   else Say( BibleReader.GetVerse( m_Book, m_Chapter, m_FirstVerse ) );
   m_Preaching = false;
   m_NextPreach = DateTime.Now + PreachDelay;
  }

I really love this system because it can be expanded on with other religions as well. Its nice to bring a little faith to the game. Just a little background though, I was looking at the gumps and artwork and I had a bug run up my arse; so I spent the last 10 hours of my life trying to improve your bible.cs gump artwork in an attempt to make it look more like a book instead of a block of grey. Well I got it working somewhat...



The Issues I Am Having:

The buttons don't seem to work very well. I used your Bible.cs and didnt deviate other than use code that was generated by GumpStudio for RunUO 2.0. Its funny because all the texts seem to appear in the right areas of the gump, but 1 button does not... the Accept Changes (the graphic I wanted to use was the little yellow pushbutton that says Accept on it) and the NONE of the buttons work.

Go figure... this is my luck right. Anyway If you like my artwork... ie the button design and the layout... I polished up that book a bit, made it larger and more clear so it would look good enlarged... and you'd like to incorporate it in the script please do, I think it would make the script 100 times more pleasing to look at.

Here is what I was left with the last attempt to boot up my server:



I've enclosed all the files I've been working with...

Download Them Here

> the gump studio project file I created the layout in... the whole thing is there.

> the bitmap artfiles of the new art tiles (in case you want to patch up)

> a copy of my gumpart.mul, gumpidx.mul, and tiledata.mul (from client 6.0.11.0 patch 72) in case you
want to backup your copies and use mine to see how well it works.

Let me know if you're willing to help restructure the gump. Had this of worked I would have posted the art bitmaps in this forum to allow others to patch up along with a copy of your working bible.cs file with the new layout and design. Unfortunately it didnt work . So I have nothing to show for

Anyway this idea stems from the perfectionist side of me and now I think I'm gonna crash cause this is really frustrating and umm - yea I have a headache.

bible.zip is currupt, can we get a new upload?

[mortenbub]
